Why don't you do a google search for Ĉolian harp using UK pages?

I had already done a UK search, using google and ask, but most of the hits
were about poetry or music, rather than making/buying a wind harp. I had
also found Art Robb`s webpage, but the design there is for a windowsill
harp, although I haven`t followed up all the links yet. There is one
website that specialises in outdoor windharps, but I am afraid to contact
the manufacturers as, although the harps are large, beautiful,
sculpture-like objects, they also look prohibitively expensive! I have even
searched for books but, again, all the titles I found were about poetry or
music. Ah well, I shall just have to keep searching.

Amazon.com list a book called "The design and construction of an Aeolian
harp" by Jonathan Mansfield and also "The history and organology of the
Aeolian harp" by Stephen Bonner. Sadly they're both out of print, but it
might be worth searching 2nd-hand book sites like Alibris or abebooks
for them.
